Peschardt's People




Peschardt's People is a BBC program wherein they interview person each time from different domains and countries .
Today on 11th febraury, they interviewed Indian writer, Shobha De.
I like the ideas and thoughts of Shobha since they are different, I have also earlier mentioned on my blog about her interesting book 'Spouse' launched in August 2005

Shobha's interview was focussed on her books and what she thinks about her critics.Her critics are many who says Shobha writes more on women sensuality to sell her masala books.
On being said by interviewer that Indian painting have too much of bright colours, she boldly answered, that Indian culture is unique and we dont have customised traditions or art to suit international market, accept India and cultural as it is.We will not change our traditions to suit any specific taste.
On her views on India as emerging market, she mentioned India has already emerged and that
its playing a far bigger role in world economy now.I really appreciate the way she said her points to british anchor.
